Yes, my girlfriend and I went to see the infamous Fifty Shades of Grey today. As steamy as the scenes are and as hot as Christian Grey may be, the most captivating thing about the movie (for me at least) were all the beautiful shots of Seattle.
It's almost been a year since I've relocated to Dallas, but I'll always be a Seattleite at heart. There's nothing more satisfying than rocking my blue and green on game day. But thankfully, I have found my home away from home, McFadden's in Addison, to watch every game. Once you walk in, you see a sea of Seahawks jerseys walking around.
With endless cups of coffee being poured every hour, you can already tell this is the city that never sleeps. Or have we all become so caffeine tolerant that it doesn't make a difference anymore. Either way, regardless you are going to grab your usual at the nearest Starbucks, which is probably a few blocks away, or you're trying out the hole in the wall coffee shop that your friend once told you about, you know you are going to enjoy that smooth cup of joe.
In short, I'm just thankful to have been raised in such a beautiful city where the seafood and coffee is fresh, just ask Joe at the Pike Place Market, and the people are more than friendly. I know I will eventually make my way back to this beautiful city I call home. But until then, I'm happy visiting once a month... I mean, they do say distance does make the heart grow fonder. ❤
Cheers
It is true when they say you don't know what you have until it's gone. The words "Seattle is a place for retirement" actually came out of my mouth at one point in time. But now that I've moved to Dallas, I finally realized what a wonderful place Seattle really is.
Not only is it the home to the Seattle Seahawks, this city has probably the most to offer just about anyone. Though everyone knows Seattle for Starbucks, the guys throwing fish at the Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and not to mention RAIN, there is so much people don't know about this city that I call my home. From the hole in the wall restaurants to the underground city that I've yet to see for myself, Seattle is truly amazing. There are things to do for those that want to stay indoors; shopping, eating, coffee drinking, But the one breath-taking thing about Seattle is all the natural parks and outdoor activities it has to offer. Now there really is no excuse to not stay fit and healthy.
On the topic of healthy, Seattleites are all about eating healthy and living healthy. We are what we put in our bodies.. So Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are always filled with the stay at home mom picking up groceries for dinner and the busy Sales Executive picking up a quick lunch before heading back to work.
